I like the art style and the way the music changes throughout the game!

Developer

Thank you for playing and giving nice feedback :)

I really like your art style, it perfectly fits the "cozy/spring" vibe! I'm glad to know you plan to keep working on it once the jam ends, it's looks really promising and I'd love so see the final version. Being able to do so much in such a short amount of time is no small feat.

Great job to the whole team!

Developer

Thank you very much for your heartwarming words <3

I like the setup for the story and character! The art and music are very charming, and it's so cool that the music pumps up when visiting the bardess. From what I can see, visiting all the characters is all the content right now, but just meeting all the character and reading their thoughts was cool enough. Would love to see more sometime!

Developer

Thank you for playing and giving so nice feedback! You got it right, now there's no ending or complete storyline, so congrats with completing the game :) If you'd like to see a complete story with a proper ending (and a bit of replayability), stay tuned, we plan to release a full version in June (more info in this devlog)!

Omg, possible winner??? The art is INCREDIBLE and the technical difficulty of making a dialogue system in such a short time is no small feat. I love it, congrats guys!

Developer

Artist: I'm deeply touched, thank you 💜

Coder: Thank you, it was really challenging to make a properly working dialogue UI with with fully supported translations from a scratch!

The art style is amazing and the concept is refreshing and original.

Small note: I think if you talk to everyone without using the artifact, you get stuck? It just kept saying to me that "Unfortunately, there's no one here" at each house after I talked to them all.

Developer(+1)

Coder: Thank you for nice feedback and for playing. Tbh, there's no actual ending right now so technically you passed the game if you visited all 8 characters. I couldn't manage to add mechanics of checking all hidden quests or at least kind of a quest trackers in time. Also there's no hints how the game works so I understand it's confusing that you have no indicator of an ending.

P.S. If you're curious, the're problems that may (or may not - it's randomised in each playthrough) be in characters' stories. If you visit Butcher in a few replays even in this version, you may see that he may feed Good Old Dog with sausage and may not - it depends if he has enough meat in his shop. We'll add this kind of visual hints so in a best final replay you won't need to use artifact to get all of the problems solved (if you manage to find a right order of visiting characters) even if there will be all of the problems. So if you're catched by the story, stay tuned! We gonna make a post-jam complete version release in May-June.

This deserves the most praise! 👏  well done to the team for this great game. The art style, music and design all look and sound fantastic! Really capturing the spring vibes with this one for sure! Enjoyed it a lot and looking forward to the updates. Keep up the great work! 

Developer

Artist: thank you for so kind comment, your words are the best reward!

Coder: thank you, we won't let you down on the release! It means a lot for me that people are ready to stay tuned even after so awkwardly coded demo :)

Очень красивая новелла, жалко что не успели добавить перевод на русский язык, я плохо шарю за английский, но суть я вроде уловил) Жду полную версию и перевод!)

Developer(+1)

Спасибо за позитивный отзыв <3

Соре за отсутствие перевода, сюжет писался впопыхах в последний день, так что на перевод уже совершенно не оставалось времени :( И это при том, что кнопка перевода была добавлена чуть ли не в самом начале

Художница, кстати, полностью согласна, она тоже не понимает английский, поэтому до сих пор не может полноценно оценить плоды своих трудов :'(

Really really charming artstyle, and the narrative about the village surely is interesting! I'm sure with more time you'll polish it into something quite interesting :D 

Developer

Thank you for this nice feedback <3

This game has beautiful aesthetics, in love with the art style! The music is also great and I like the detail of it changing in the bardess' house. It all combines to make a very cozy medieval vibe.

As others have stated I also had the bug of the characters piling on top of each other, but I'm sure this can be fixed easily after the jam. Excited that you are adding more to the game afterwards, and I'm keen to see the complete post jam version! Well done :)

Developer

Thank you for your kind feedback 💚 We'll try our best to release a finished version in two months so stay tuned if you enjoyed it ;)

The game's art style is one of its highlights! It looks incredible and very textured and stylized; combine that with your musical leitmotifs, and it's very immersive.
A few notes I have. The characters would pile up, and the background (ex: Trader's background in your game's screenshots) wouldn't show up. The dialog would also bleed out of the UI. I couldn't proceed with the game; I had to restart it to use the artifact on others. I suggest you add the dialog choices not on top of the characters.
I would've loved to see the festival and absolutely admire the creativity behind your game! I'm sold, and I want to see more updates on this game and play it fully fleshed out!

Developer

Artist: Thanks for your compliments, this reactions is a huge reward for me! There are more arts that couldn't be included to the game due to coder's time issues so after jam ends in future updates and then in the release will be more character arts, backgrounds and a rewarding final art of the festival 😉

Coder: Thanks for the bug discoveries! It will be patched in the update after the jam ends ❤️ We'll consider how to treat the choices (tbh I had no time to code it properly so I just coded it at least somehow like with the text box).

Musician: Thank you for your warm words, it's a very big relief that not all the people plays with turned off sound 🧡

That's huge for us that you're catched and wait for the release :)

this is cute, i love the art! reminds me of vintage childrens' books. i love how everyone has a bloodhound in this town for some reason xD. there is a bug where the people seem to pile up on top of each other rather than changing with different houses you click on. but regardless, this is a super cool concept. i'd love to see the artifact be used to discover some really juicy secrets!

Developer

Artist: Thank you for so warm feedback! Your compare with vintage children's books is really close to the vibe I meant 💛

Coder: Thanks for the bug discovery, the first build was made in 1 hour before the deadline so there is a lot of unexpected bugs that wasn't causing any problems in the editor😅

By the way, about the dog, it was a dumb moment of realization when we read your comment. Actually, it's one single community dog called Good Old Dog that follows the protagonist and all villagers love to interact with this dog. But now we both can't unsee this horde of dog clones lol 😅 We'll include more clear introduction of this character in the intro :)
